Bad News for Waitlistees

<p>So I just saw this...</p>

<p>Early</a> Signs That College Yields Did Not Change Dramatically - The Choice Blog - NYTimes.com</p>

<p>In summary: 384 deposits, 390 spots. Sorry fellow waitlistees; it really does suck, but I thought you all would like to know..</p>

<p>Wow, super depressing. So what… six people off the waitlist of ~300? But thanks for sharing. I definitely will not get my hopes up.</p>

<p>yikes.</p>

<p>I do have to hand it to the admissions staff though for coming so close</p>

<p>Other colleges will be working their waitlists, so there will be some melt.</p>

<p>But it is still best to work on falling in love with wherever you submitted your deposit.</p>

<p>you also have to consider that some of the folks who sent in their pomona deposits are on other waitlists themselves, and may withdraw at a later point.</p>

<p>… or that some people may defer and take a gap year.</p>

<p>jenqster- thanks for the post. now i know not to get my hopes up, haha.</p>
